Description

A great example of a 1959 Ford Thunderbird. This classic American sedan has the iconic 5.8-litre V8 petrol engine that has plenty of power. It's been imported to New Zealand and I'm the second Kiwi owner.

The Thunderbird is easy to drive despite its size, making it good to handle on the road. It's a spacious vehicle with plenty of room for passengers, and the interior offers comfort for longer journeys. A tow bar is fitted, adding to its practicality.

This classic has been reliable and runs smoothly. It's in excellent condition for its age, having been well-maintained over the years.

Features:

  • 5.8-litre V8 engine
  • Imported vehicle
  • Spacious interior with room to stretch out
  • Family-friendly seating
  • Fitted with tow bar
  • Distinctive tail fins and styling of the late 50s era
  • The car still has the original paint from 1959 , the interior seats have been redone to the deluxe version that was optional and the original mileage is70,261 miles, engine and trans have been rebuilt ,also the complete front and rear suspension also have been done , new radiator and complete dual exhaust system also and has new fuel tank

Looking for a classic American car that combines style with practicality? Feel free to get in touch with any questions.
